Day 1: Arrive Gaya Island

Transfer by boat from the capital city of Kota Kinabalu to Gaya Island. Settle into your private villa at the Bunga Raya Island Resort. A secluded island hideaway of 48 timbered villas, the resort is tucked away on a tranquil and hidden bay framed by crescent-shaped white sand beach on one side and centuries-old virgin jungle on the other. Private balconies offer jaw dropping vistas of the beach below and the South China Sea beyond. Villas range from simple timbered dwellings just steps from the beach to opulent 3-bedroom, multi-level units with wrap-around decks and indulgent private plunge pools. A dedicated hilltop spa, with exotic private spa pavilions, blends the very finest of Traditional Asian and Western treatments that capture restorative powers of indigenous plants and oils.

Day 2-3: Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa

Enjoy a few days or a full week immersed in the sand, sun, and jungles of Borneo. Take a closer look at the island's plant and animal inhabitants with a guided jungle trek, explore the island waters and coral reefs with an adventure through Bunga Raya's water sports activities, and relax at Bunga Raya's trademark Solace Spa. Sleep soundly in your private villa tucked into the rainforest, waking each morning with the sunrise over the South China Sea. For lunch and dinner, choose from one of the resort's three restaurants, or indulge in a fine meal in the comfort of your own villa. 



 

Day 4: Return to Kota Kinabalu

  • 1 Breakfast
Board the speedboat back to the mainland this morning. Continue on to climb Mount Kinabalu, explore deeper into the Bornean jungle, or transfer to the airport for your international flight home.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
